Reconciling in Christ (RIC)
Bethesda is discerning whether we’d like to become a Reconciling in Christ congregation. Reconciling in Christ, or RIC, is a designation for a church that publicly welcomes and affirms individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and/or more (LGBTQIA+). Church Council approved a Task Force to help lead this discernment when they met earlier this year in February. Sign-up by clicking here, to learn more at two ZOOM Voyager Adult Forums . . .
